Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 583

"How's it going? Are you convinced?" Liu Bowen smiled proudly.

"I'm done, I'm done." Lao Liu nodded and told the master what happened recently.

Even the top secret that the fourth brother in charge of Jinyiwei wanted to monitor the officials did not hide it.

Liu Bowen even knew his biggest secret, so there was no need for Lao Liu to hide anything anymore.It's better to trust Master wholeheartedly...

Liu Bowen listened very carefully, even though he had already guessed that the elder one was coming, he was still shocked by the sixth son's narration and fell silent for a long time.

He and Lao Liu had repeatedly discussed the reform of the imperial examination system long ago.At that time, even he thought that Zhu Yuanzhang could not agree easily, and he had to do a lot of work to help the emperor make up his mind.

Unexpectedly, Boss Zhu figured it out on his own so quickly.

"Maybe it's because my uncle passed away and my old man felt that I didn't have enough time for him." Lao Liu guessed: "Including asking the fourth brother to do those things, he is obviously anxious."

"I'm really in a hurry." Liu Bowen nodded, twisting his beard and said: "It seems that the emperor has already made up his mind to overturn the table, and is starting to prepare for overthrowing and starting over."

"Actually, he doesn't need to be so anxious at all..." Lao Liu muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Liu Bowen is old and seems to be a little deaf.

"No, it's nothing." Lao Liu laughed and said, "Anyway, this is a good thing for our plan."

"Yes." Liu Bowen nodded and said quietly: "In the past, the emperor was like a cat playing with a mouse. I don't know how long he would tease Hu Weiyong. But now, the emperor doesn't want to delay it any longer. He wants to solve the problem in a short time."

After a pause, Liu Bowen changed the subject again and said: "But the emperor has waited for so long and without satisfactory results, he will not close the net."

"He wants to finish his work in one battle and wipe out all those ghosts and ghosts?" Lao Liu asked.

"It's impossible to accomplish all in one battle." Liu Bowen shook his head and said, "Hu Weiyong's power was not cultivated by himself, but built on the foundation laid by the Duke of Korea. It's a bit exaggerated to say 'the truth is the imperial court', but I want to put The Hu party has been wiped out in a single net, and I am afraid that there is no such a large net."

"That's true." Lao Liu nodded. There are too many forces surrounding Hu Weiyong.I'm afraid that the father will not be able to make such a big determination for a while.

"So we can only focus on the key points first." Liu Bowen said solemnly: "What the emperor is worried about is that if Prime Minister Hu has gone, another Prime Minister Jiang or He will come up and continue to lead hundreds of officials to sing against him. Will the situation change? Change the dressing.”

"So, we have to change the soup and medicine together." Lao Liu said in a joking tone: "Just withdraw the Ministry of Education and abolish the prime minister. Wouldn't the problem be solved?"

"Uh..." Liu Bowen was taken aback. "You have a way. Without Zhongshu Sheng, there would be no prime minister, and without a prime minister, no one would be able to lead a hundred officials in a legitimate way, and sing against the emperor."

"Don't tell me, this really looks like your father's style of acting," Liu Bowen said, the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt: "Maybe from the beginning, your father's purpose was not Hu Weiyong, nor the so-called 'Hu Party', but his own Get off this photo chair!"

"That's right, he is going to remove the chair!" Liu Bowen struck with both hands and his tone became firm and said:
"It must be like this. What is Hu Weiyong? What is Hu Dang? Compared with Li Shanchang and the Huaixi gang at the beginning, it is not a star and a half. Why did the emperor tolerate him? He even sheltered and condoned him because no one was better than him. Hu Weiyong is more suitable to be the last prime minister!"

"That's right, Hu Xiang is stupid, arrogant, and crazy all in one. If this kind of person blows himself up, he might blow up the entire Zhongshu Province." Lao Liu nodded and agreed.

"It's not that easy. The Zhongshu Province is the center of a country," Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "It has existed for thousands of years and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is also the head of our country to establish the foundation and unify the world. It is easy to depose the prime minister, but to remove the Zhongshu too difficult."

Lao Liu nodded, the most critical step for the old thief from a bandit to a prince is to occupy Jiqing Road, which is now Yingtian Mansion.Since then, he has been on the stage, and was named Pingzhang of Jiangnan and other places by King Xiaoming.

After that, Boss Zhu took this Xingzhongshu Province as the core and began the operation and expansion of the political power until the establishment of the country.Jiangnan Xing Zhongshu Province was also naturally upgraded to Zhongshu Province, becoming the center and head of the national government.

It can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty revolves around Zhongshu Province.How can the country still function if this center is rashly removed?Whether the imperial court will be paralyzed is a question that must be carefully considered.

"In fact, the old man has already laid a lot of groundwork before, such as abolishing the Secretary of the Central Committee and dividing power into three divisions; abolishing officials such as Zhongshu who participated in political affairs; and establishing the General Affairs Department, which ordered the Secretary not to imprison Bai Zhongshu first when reporting matters; and Ordering my elder brother to watch the court and listen to the government is all preparation for this step?" The sixth son said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Liu Bowen nodded and said: "It seems that the emperor has already planned to remove the Zhongshu Province, but it is too unbelievable, so even I only thought that he wanted to deal with the Hu Party, but could not imagine his real purpose ."

"My old man has always dared to think and do. There is nothing he can't do except what he can't imagine." Lao Liu curled his lips and smiled, not sure whether it was a compliment or a criticism.

"But even with so much foreshadowing, I'm afraid it still can't solve the most fundamental problem - what can be used to replace the central role of Zhongshu Province?" Liu Bowen thought carefully for a moment, shook his head and said:

"If you change another yamen, it's just putting old wine in a new bottle - just changing the name. What's the difference? Resetting the three provinces? It's just putting the wine in three bottles, and the difference is not big. I think the character of the emperor , will not be accepted.”

"So until there is no answer to this question, your father will not act rashly." Liu Bowen knew Zhu Yuanzhang well, and he knew that prudence and conservatism are the foundation of this majesty.

"Maybe in the eyes of my old man, this is not a problem." The sixth child who knew the answer spoke very confidently:
"You can't look at my old man based on common sense. He is a super energetic man. He only needs to sleep for two hours a day. He can work for ten hours and handle four to five hundred official documents without any delay. Uh... Anyway, with the help of my elder brother , it can almost replace Zhongshu Province..."

"Fuck..." Liu Bowen uttered a rare expletive, slapped his forehead and said, "Why did you forget this? Other emperors really need a yamen to replace Zhongshu Province. But your father doesn't need it, he can do it alone. Zhongshu Province."

"Then he must have made up his mind - abolish the prime minister and withdraw the Chinese book!" Liu Bowen said without doubt.

"Then let's wait and see what happens?" Zhu Zhen asked.

"No, it's the opposite." Liu Bowen shook his head and said, "It's your father who waits and sees what happens. He has already put on this posture, and a smart person can smell the wind and know that there is a grievance for a vengeance, and the time has come for revenge. How can time not move? Could it be that my son's revenge needs others to help me avenge it?!"

"I think so too." Old Liu Chong nodded and said, "I have a lot of debts, and I have to settle with Hu!"

As he spoke, he geared up and said, "Master, tell me, what should I do?"

"You go to school first," Liu Bowen said calmly: "You can't play your trump card at the beginning. Good steel must be used on the blade."

"Oh..." Lao Liu said sadly.
